Subdomains

A subdomain is part of a web address that is under the main domain, such as name.example.com. From a technical perspective, even in www.example.com the "www" element is a subdomain given that the fully qualified domain name is only "example.com". Every single subdomain can have its own site and records and can even be hosted through a different provider if you wish to use some feature that's not offered by your current provider. One example for using a subdomain is if you have a business site as well as an online store under a subdomain where customers can buy your products. You can even have a forum in which they can discuss the products and by employing subdomains as an alternative to subfolders you'll avoid any chance of all websites going down if you perform maintenance, or update one of the site scripts. Keeping the websites separated is more secure in the event of a script security breach.

Our hosting plans will permit you to create countless subdomains for every domain address hosted inside your account without any problem. Assuming that the main domain address is added, it takes two clicks to create a subdomain and pick what folder it's going to open (if different from the default one), create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, and much more. All subdomains will be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for easy access and management. By right-clicking on any one of them and by using quick access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that particular subdomain. We have not set a restriction for the total amount of subdomains that you can create with any one of our plans, so you can have as many as you wish.

You can create as many subdomains as you wish with any of our Linux semi-dedicated hosting since we have not set an upper limit for this feature. The Hepsia website hosting CP will enable you to add a new subdomain with only a few mouse clicks and you can access a number of advanced features during the process - modify the default access folder, select the IP address the subdomain will use from the shared and dedicated ones that are available in your account, activate FrontPage Extensions, add an SSL certificate, plus much more. Even if you set up a large number of subdomains, you are going to be able to keep track of them with ease as they will be listed in alphabetical order below their main domain. For any of them, you can also access the website files or see logs and usage statistics via fast access buttons.
